“It’s not just the over $8 billion that we would be saving in law enforcement; it’s also the over $8 billion that we would be making by taxing marijuana… We are filling our jails with nonviolent drug offenders, predominantly young, predominantly African American. It’s beyond a left and right issue. It has support across the political spectrum and also the support of the majority of the American people.”

2. Kristen Stewart/Actress

“You can Google my name, and one of the first things that comes up is images of me sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe with my ex-boyfriend and my dog. It was taken the day the movie came out. I was no one. I was a kid. I had just turned 18. The next day, it was like I was a delinquent slimy idiot, whereas I’m kind of a weirdo, creative Valley girl who smokes pot . . . big deal.”

3. Stevie Nicks/Singer, Songwriter

“When I’m writing, I will allow myself to smoke a little bit of pot. It’s my one little thing that I can do. If I’m sitting at a piano and I’m writing, then I’m not out driving around in a car. Nobody is here, nobody sees me. I am not smoking with anybody. It’s just me, and it’s my choice. I use it as a tool, and I’m very careful, you know? And I get results.”

5. Susan Saradon/Actress, Activist

“It will be legal everywhere, and that will cause a very interesting tipping point. Certainly, if more people were smoking instead of drinking, people don’t get mean on weed, don’t beat up their wives on weed and don’t drive crazy on weed. They just get hungry, don’t go out of the house or laugh a lot. I think it would make for a much more gentle world.”

6. Frances McDormand/Actress

“I’m a recreational pot-smoker. Because it’s not a constant in my life, I don’t say it should be made legal so it’s more available. But from a medical point of view—I have friends who need to use it—why should they have to look too hard for the thing that makes them better? So from that point of view, it’s like, ‘Please, what is the problem?’”

7. Madonna/Singer, Songwriter, Actress, Businesswoman

“My favorite birthday present ever was a bong shaped like a penis.”

8. Amanda Seyfried/Actress, Model, Singer, Songwriter

“I don’t understand how people can die all the time from alcohol poisoning, yet pot is so stigmatized.”

9. Jennifer Aniston/Actress, Producer, Businesswoman

“I enjoy smoking cannabis and see no harm in it.”

10. Megan Fox/Actress, Model

“I can’t tell you how much bullshit I’ve been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it’s this crazy, hippie, fucked-up thing to do. And it’s not! I hope they legalize it, and when they do, I’ll be the first fucking person in line to buy my pack of joints.”
